My friend was almost fell too when she took a shower. We reported the incident. But the front desk staff told me to avoid the slippery issue, just put a towel on the tub. Who would ever think that when you are on vacation. They need to provide a non-slip mats.

Nice, clean, and decent, but nowhere near 4-star vibes—more like a solid 3. Friendly staff, though they can look a bit messy. Rooms are tidy but basic, missing that upscale polish. The mall next door is handy if you’re into shopping, but getting downtown or around the city isn’t convenient. Good for a quick stay, not a luxurious getaway.

Top Notch hotel

This Catalonia location is right next to an outdoor shopping plaza that has several restaurants, stores, supermarket - movie theatre it has it all.

Concierge staff were amazing, very welcoming, attentive and ready to support. The room had a comfortable bed, nice bathroom and large window.

The restaurant served a delicious breakfast buffet 15 euros, and also served lunch and dinner. Food was always hot and delicious. Their hosts/hostesses were also very helpful and ready to please.

Buses H6 & H8 were frequent and took you close enough into the city with nice scenery along the way. The subway is a quick 5min H5 bus ride or 15 minute walk. Explore the plaza nearby it's cute and very typical of Spanish neighborhoods. Definitely recommend and will stay again!

Sofia at the front desk and dining room staff all were exceptional. Sophia called the taxi and even went outside to show me where the taxi was parked and to make sure I got in. Breakfast had just ended five minutes before, but the staff cooked eggs and bacon fresh for me and then cooked toast even though I had not asked for toast. They were smiling and friendly when they could easily have said sorry we are closed and you missed breakfast. Breakfast was a free buffet, so I didn’t expect fresh cooked food to order.

Below are photos of bed bugs I found in my room when I walked in. I was absolutely horrified and went straight back to the front desk. I kindly asked that they give me another room but they refused to do so, and instead told me bring up the matter with the cleaning staff. Needless to say I was downright irate at this point, and demanded that I speak with the manager, but the lady at the front told me that he was away for (conveniently) 3 days (the length of my stay). So you're telling me that the hotel doesn't have a manager for 3 days? You're either lying to to me stay out of trouble, or this hotel truly has a management and staff training issue. I will never, ever stay at a NH hotel again, and will advise my touring agency of this incident and warn my friends and family to stay away from this horrifying place. I've been to tens of hotels in my life, but none have been as terrible as this experience.

Staying at NH was great. We were a family and it worked for us just fine. The hotel was really clean and the front desk was extremely helpful and patiently answered all our questions. The beds were comfortable. The hotel also had a homey feeling to it and the breakfast buffet was amazing. La Maquinista Mall is right next to the hotel, literally two minutes by foot, and has a lot of shops and restaurants. The neighborhood is quiet and clean.
The only thing we didn't like was its location. It is kind of far from the center. The bus stop doesn't take you to the center so the only option is walking 10-15 minutes until the metro station and 8 stops later you're in Catalunya square. It wasn't a problem but I would give the location a 7.5 or an 8.

The staff where all very friendly and attentive and assisted me immediatly with an accidental double booking made using the expedia Phone App.
I had not been given an option for a smoking room but upon entering it was evident this had been smoked in a lot. The bed was comfortable but even as an ex smoker the smell of stale smoke kept me awake.
The decor of the room was basic but sufficient however the attention to detail on cleanliness also do not impress as the lamp next to the bed was dusty and sticky.
For the price and the fact other better, previously trialed hotels in the centre of Barcelona had been available for less; i was slightly dissapointed.
Overall I would not recommend this hotel unless, like me ,you had business in the area and didnt want to have to get up at 4.30 to get there.
Also maybe dont leave bookinf the hotel until on the plane sat on the runway....

Mystery tour of Barcelona

A good thing to know about Barcelona is that the name of the streets is on a plaque high on the side of a corner building and unfortunately not well lite,so even if it just looks like a lane,its probably the road you need to take, which is why my husband I went on a magical mystery tour of Barcelona trying to get to the hotel.So after asking a few local people invery bad spainish we finally found the motel.Ha! In the light of the next day we discovered our folly and proceeded to find how easy it was to get to the metro L1 line, the massive shopping centre near us which I purchased a sim card for my phone at mega markt and that there were plenty of places to eat. Yes the motel is out of the way a bit but its quiet and very clean and once you get the hang of riding the metro its a great place to stay.

Convenient to the Maquinista mall

I usually like NH hotels because you know what you are going to get, and the price is usually reasonable. However, this time I was not overly impressed at what I got for the price. At 125 euros per night I expected air conditioning (AC) that worked well, especially given the summer heat in Barcelona in July. The AC was too weak on the first night so I called reception. They said they would send someone in the morning to look at it, which they did. Reception then said there was nothing wrong with the AC. I came back that evening to a very cold hotel room, so I tried to adjust the thermostat. Unfortunately it then became too hot again and although I tried to adjust the thermostat it never cooled the room sufficiently. It was too late by then to do anything as I knew the best Reception could do was ask someone to look at it in the morning. So I just resigned myself to another night of bad sleep due to the heat.

NICE HOTEL BUT ROOM TURNS INTO AN OVEN AT NIGHT

If you have health problems that require you to sleep in a cool room-then please beware.

The only problem that I had with this hotel was that we went to bed with a comfortable room temperature and were awakened during the night by sauna-like heat.
At first, I thought I had a fever due to a slight cold since I became so sweaty during the night. But after the second night and with confirmation from my husband, I realized it wasn't me it was the lack of cool air.

The night manager came to our room promptly after we complained one night. She even had to acknowledge that the room was hot.
We found out from the hotel desk manager that they turn the AC off during the night/early morning hours.
We felt that this practice was ridiculous. If the temperature outside is high why turn off the air conditioning?
Our sleep was disrupted due to the hot air blowing through the vents.

The location of the hotel was great. The staff was really nice. We enjoyed our time in Barcelona but this sweltering hotel quickened our desire to head home.

Nice hotel away from the centre

I chose this location as it was close to where a two day long distance walking event was taking place. It is not actually part of the Maquinista, a very large modern shopping centre but a separate building at one corner. It is a bit of a walk to the nearest underground station but there are plenty of buses. It is clearly more of a business hotel than a tourist and as such is quite expensive but the rooms are large, with good air conditioning and excellent ensuite bathroom.

However, the hotel is very nice. Our room was quite big and the bathroom as well. The room was equipped with a closet, a double bed, a suitcase rack and a desk. There was also a safe located in the closet but we didn't have a minibar in the room.
Everything was very clean.
Our window was located to the street, therefore it was quite loud in night.

We didn't have breakfast, so I can't give a rating in this regard. When we arrived at the hotel, the receptionist asked us, if we wanted to add breakfast and he offered as a \"special price\". I could believe that this special price is offered to everybody who has booked the hotel without breakfast (the prices would have been 9€ p.p. for breakfast on the first day and 7€ p.p. for the following days).

The hotel is suited next to a huge shopping centre (La Maquinista). We enjoyed that very much as there is a big supermarket (Carrefour) which is opened from 10a.m. to 10.p.m everyday and there are lots of restaurants on the attic floor of the shopping centre.

The location is not the best, but still I would recommend this hotel to anybody who visits Barcelona for a few days. You have to walk about 10 minutes to the metro station and you have to change the metro at least one time to get to the centre.
There is also a RENFE station just 15 minutes away from the hotel which takes you directly to the airport (Barcelona El Prat). Please note that the train takes you to Terminal 2. If your flight starts in Terminal 1, you have to walk through Terminal 2 and take a bus which takes you to Terminal 1. The terminals are quite far away from each other (the bus even drives on the the freeway for a few minutes). The shuttle bus which circulates between T1 and T2 is free.

Altogether, we very very pleased to stay in this accomodation and we would definitely book this hotel again if we went to Barcelona again. The cost/performance ratio is very, very good!
